Shownotes Transcript
Tim Ferriss is the author of The Four Hour Workweek and The Four Hour Body.
“If you have a fitness magazine, you can’t just write one issue, ‘Here are the rules!’ ... My job, conversely, is to make myself obsolete. The last thing I want to be is a guru, someone people come to for answers. I want to be the person people come to for better questions.”
